rssReid Says the Ball Is in GOP’s Court

Fresh from his victory in Nevada and operating on little sleep, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made it clear on a conference call this afternoon that Democrats are willing to compromise with their Republican colleagues — and expect the same attitude from the GOP.
“Republicans must take responsibility to solve the problems of ordinary Americans,” he said. “No is not the answer. It has to be yes — not our yes, but a combined yes, a consensus yes.”
“The ball is in their court,” he continued. “We have made the message very clear that we’re willing to work with Republicans.”
And if they refuse?
“The American people can see that like a very, very slow curveball — and they will feel like that’s what they’ve been dealt if Republicans are unwilling to work with us,” he said.
The first practical issue area in which you’ll most likely see this playing out is the tax code, where decisions need to be made before the expiration of the Bush tax cuts at the end of the year. On the call, Reid insisted that the most important thing Democrats are focused on is avoiding a tax hike on the middle class. He also called Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) proposal to extend the tax cuts for all income brackets indefinitely and take on an additional $4 billion in debt a nonstarter.
So what’s the next move? Everyone’s playing his hand close to the chest at present, but the ball, apparently, is back in the GOP’s court.

See, that's why Harry might be exhibiting a dementia. He presumes that cooperating means that Republicans will act the same lickspittle's as his former Democratic Cronies. Both party's err if they think they both aren't expected to accept the will of America's citizens as the guidance in our governance. This will particularly hard for Harry, being that he's a moron as well.

My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find most of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content available for you? I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome website!

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My site addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your webpage? My website is in the very same area of interest as yours and my users would genuinely benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this ok with you. Regards!

Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say that you’ve done a fantastic job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox. Outstanding Blog!

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Cheers

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any recommendations? Thank you!
